FOUND: Dinah McNicol

Those first days were terribly hard

Ian McNicol, 68, from Essex, said he had waited 16 years for answers after his daughter Dinah vanished in 1991.

He said: “Those first days were terribly hard. The waiting up at night, jumping every time the phone rang and lying awake thinking: ‘Is she in a ditch somewhere?’”

The grieving family of Vicky Hamilton revealed it could be months before her body is released. Vicky went missing from Bathgate near Edinburgh 16 years ago.

Her sister Sharon, 36, and twins Lee and Lindsay, 23, issued a statement saying: “Vicky going missing ripped the family apart. Not only did we lose a beloved sister, we also lost our mother who died through heartache never knowing what happened to her daughter.”
